CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 20-A Wichita,
Kan, special says: "Snow commenced fall
ing here yesterday morning, and has come
down steadily ever since. Later, day
blizzard set in from the North, and has

to the effect that the blizzard is general over
the West, and that it has caught the coun-

from this sudden change Of the weather, az
as it is certain that entire districts are al
most entirely without fuel"
